The DXi6900 disk backup and replication appliance uses Quantum’s
data deduplication technology to expand the amount of backup data
users can retain on fast-recovery RAID systems by 10 to 50 times.
The result is a cost-effective way for IT departments to store backup
data on disk for months instead of days, providing high speed, reliable
restores, increasing available data recovery points, and reducing
media management.
For disaster recovery in distributed environments, the DXi6900
system makes automated WAN replication practical by dramatically
reducing the bandwidth required to move backup data securely
between sites.
DXi6900 solutions are integrated systems that are easy to install and
use with all leading backup applications. They provide best-in-class
performance with flexible, easy-to-use interface options including
NAS, OST, virtual library, or mixed presentations, as well as Ethernet
and Fibre Channel connectivity. The DXi6900 appliance is part of a
comprehensive set of backup solutions, serviced and supported by
Quantum, the leading global specialist in backup, recovery, and
archive.

Installation
Rack Compatibility
Nearly all standard four-post EIA 19” server racks are compatible with the DXi6900 rack mount kits.
See Physical Characteristics on page 15 for system rack space requirements.
Installation and Integration Services
Installation and integration of the DXi6900 system by Quantum is required. Please contact your Quantum
sales representative to discuss installation services.
DXi6900 Setup and Configuration
After hardware has been installed and initially configured, you are ready to use your DXi6900. The remote
management console allows you to reconfigure your DXi6900 at any time.
Required Network Information
To utilize the remote management console of the DXi6900, you must connect it to your network.
Note the following considerations:
l
l
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is not supported. You must provide a static IP address at
the time of installation.
The default IP Address is: 10.1.1.1
You and other administrative users can always return to the remote management console to modify all
DXi6900 settings, including network settings. Refer to the DXi6900 User’s Guide for additional information
on initially configuring your DXi6900.
Network Configuration
During network configuration, each individual interface on the DXi6900 can be configured as a subnet with
its own network settings. Each physical Ethernet port can be configured as an interface. In addition, you can
also create bonded interfaces (logical ports) consisting of two or more physical ports.
You can specify the type of traffic allowed on each interface (management, replication, or data). Alternately,
you can allow any traffic type on an interface. In this case, the routing of different traffic types, as well as
firewall capability, must be controlled using the network infrastructure (routers and switches) that the
DXi6900 is connected to.
Note: Each configured network interface requires its own set of network settings (IP address, network
mask, and gateway).
Quantum DXi6900 Site Planning Guide
2
Installation
For effective bonded network use, a properly configured network switch is required. (A network switch is not
supplied with the DXi6900.) The DXi6900 bonding settings must match the switch settings. If the switch
settings and the DXi6900 settings do not match, your system may become inaccessible through the switch.
Planning Network Configuration
Prior to installation of the DXi6900, make sure to work with your network administrator to determine the
network settings that will be needed to properly integrate the DXi6900 with your network infrastructure.
Consider the following questions:
l
What hostname will the DXi be assigned?
l
What are the default gateway and DNS servers for your company?
l
How many Ethernet cables (1 GbE and 10 GbE) will be connected to the DXi?
l
Will you configure Ethernet ports individually or bond multiple ports into a single network device?
l
l
If bonding Ethernet ports, what bonding mode is compatible with your network switch (Round Robin,
LACP, or Active Backup)?
How many IP addresses (network interfaces) are required, and what traffic types will be allowed on each
interface (Management, Data, and Replication)?
l
Will you assign a VLAN Tag ID to an interface?
l
Will an interface use Jumbo Frame MTU size?
l
What is the IP address, network mask, and gateway to use for each network interface?
l
Will host routes be required to communicate with systems that are on subnets not reachable through the
default gateway?
Firewall Ports
The following firewall ports should be opened to receive notifications of updates for the DXi Software.

DXi6900 Warranty
One-Year Warranty. Service Requests (SRs) can be submitted via Quantum's Online Service Request
Form or telephone 24x7x365. SRs will receive a response no later than the next business day. Telephone
support will include diagnosis of covered warranty issues and parts replacement. Replacement parts will be
shipped within one business day of Quantum's determination that a replacement part is required. Customer
will perform the replacement and return of all identified CRU (Customer Replaceable Unit) components.
Identified FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) components will be replaced onsite by a Quantum Field Engineer or
Authorized Service Provider, with a next business day onsite response. Onsite support for FRU
replacement is provided on a Next Business Day (excluding weekends, evenings and holidays) response
following determination, by Quantum, that FRU replacement is the right action to resolve the equipment or
operational problem that led to the creation of the Service Request. Support includes the rights for the
customer to receive new software releases applicable to registered equipment under this warranty.

Determining the DXi6900 Model
Determining the DXi6900 Model
You will need to determine if the DXi system is a DXi6900 G1 or G2. Model information is located on the pullout information tag on the front of the Node (see Figure 1 below).
l
The DXi6900 G2 information tag includes “G2” in the part number (see Figure 2 below).
l
The DXi6900 G1 information tag does not include “G1” in the part number (see Figure 3 below).

Note: For Cisco 5000 Series Data Center Class switches, Quantum
recommends using the approved 5 meter Twinax cable type that is shipped
with the DXi6900 system. Otherwise, Quantum recommends using optical
(SFP+) connectivity.
Note: The 10 GbE Copper (Twinax) cable options that Quantum provides do
not support all switches. Please note the supported switches during the
purchase-configuration process, and if the Twinax cables supplied by
Quantum are not compatible with your switch, then you will need to provide
your own compatible Twinax cables from your switch vendor. Be sure to
have these available before the system installation takes place.
